The Gunlock Makers of Wolverhampton

March 25, 2010

We would like to draw members’ attention to a new book, ‘The Gunlock Makers of Wolverhampton’, a concise history of the sporting gunlock makers of this city from its earliest times, by Mark R Cooper & Vic Griffith.

Mr Griffiths was a gunlock maker for Edwin Chilton in Sweetman Street from World War II until the 1960s (as was his father who worked with Charlie Alcock, and who I remember well as the Works Manager).

The book is available priced £20 inc p&p to the UK mainland.
